Captain Yesterday's midweek lesson learned for the week: If we give Brad Pitt hepatitis today, we can save the world from a Zombie Apocalypse tomorrow.

Typical.
A Zombie Apocalypse is possibly imminent, and I forgot my favorite pair of boxers (among other things).
The less snark ridden message is life is all about perspective. Be more positive. :-)
OK man. How about you do you and don't worry about me?

Well I liked the DLC in Dragon Age 2... so I just upgraded to Game of the Year in Dragon Age Inquisition. Oh and I finally figured out why Dragon Keep wasn't doing anything so Yay this play through should have a lot of cool new and old stuff.

I don't think DA2 would have been so bad if every map didn't look exactly the same. I have heard of lazy programming, but taking literally the same map and blocking off one corner different than last time is an entirely new level of lazy.

Having a hard time. I'm on a "no carbs after 5" thing from my doctor, and Life cereal is sitting there. Taunting me. Naturally, it's all either of my sons want to eat at present (having finished their meals). :|
It's 9AM! That Life cereal is miiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnneeee~!

Hello! I hope you're all doing well.

Wow... talk about motivation!
Two and a half months of dieting to scrape off 21 pounds... a week and a half of stretching, sit-ups, and push-ups every day to keep my body in shape as it shrinks...
...and this morning NobodysWife came in to the bathroom while I was getting out of the shower and didn't notice any difference.
Is there any better way to say, "You obviously need to keep going?"
I think not...

'eyo FaWtL. Hope everyone is well and having a good evening/night. More cold, wet and windy hereabouts, but it was sunny briefly earlier, so we had some nice rainbows. :)
Sounds beautiful! Hope your day is awesome!

Geez, for the grief you're going through you could have just FedEx'ed it to me, I would have extracted your data for you, and FedEx'ed back both drives...
...the one disadvantage is that I don't bother with the whole, "This computer must reboot exactly as it did before, and have all the shortcuts, programs, and settings."My approach is: Data is precious, programs are re-installable.
Anyway, good luck!

Today I had to do a Costco run during my lunch break to buy food for Impus Major's Madrigal performance, and it nearly broke my obsessive-compulsive brain.
I love going to Costco at 9:30 am on a Saturday. It's like driving during rush hour: There are a ton of you there, but you're all old pros, you know how everyone else is going to behave, and you're just trying to get in, get your stuff, and get out as quickly as possible. Once 10:30 hits, if you're not out of there, you'll scream.
Sure enough, today at lunch had all the usual culprits:
I could go on, but... work!
EDIT: I understand that shoppers who aren't as physically well-endowed as I (I'm looking at you, Freehold!) prefer to move their carts right next to what they're getting, but once they do so, they should get back to the "right lane", not drive in the "left lane" and disrupt all the "traffic" in the aisle...

My wife's school's Christmas Concert choral and band presentation are knocking it out of the park! These volunteer kids sound almost as good as (and sometimes better than) most professional groups I've heard! Wow! God bless these kids!

Job site was burglarized last night, but there were some anomalies:
1. The only things stolen were a stack of pallets and the key to one of the excavators.
2. Every single deadbolt lock on every single storage unit was hideously mangled (to the point where most of the locks had to be cut out of the doors before being replaced), but they'd taken the time to carefully close all the doors.
3. A number of the stainless steel cylinder locking tabs on the deadbolts were twisted like corkscrews, something that a) I couldn't accomplish with a pair of pliers, a pry bar, and a vise, and b) could only have been done from the inside of each of the locked units.
We may be dealing with an alien entity of some kind.

It's nice that I can get to the end of the street (4 out of 5 blocks) holding my phone before my hand loses feeling from the cold.
Usually I only get half way before it goes numb.
The drawback of owning a touchscreen phone in winter, gotta look for those special gloves.

It wasn't me! I swear! I was in New Mexico, probing crackpots for money.
Or, as you earthlings call it, DVD's of Gigli, fools! You practically give it away!

Well it got up to a sweltering 52 today with 58 a distinct possibility for early next week, which is about double of what it usually is this time of year, so no complaints here, and a month and half from now when we'll be lucky if it climbs above zero, I'll remember this day wistfully, through a frosted, but rose colored window.

Totally with you on the grocery shopping etiquette, NH. Do not understand why it's so hard to stay on the right. And most of the time you park on the right and scamper across but I admit that this ideal is impossible to achieve at my local grocery store where you park your cart wherever isn't already occupied. It's a madhouse in there. Like, all the time. I find Monday afternoons to be the slowest time but then you've got to dodge the stockers who are even worse than other shoppers.
Mind you, I've got no business having any say about grocery shopping etiquette really. I mean, I climb the shelves like a toddler in order to reach things on the top shelf so I can't really claim to be that civilized. #shortPeopleProblems #NotReallyAGrownup. :P

~laughs~ I have totally climbed the shelves before. Sometimes it's just too big a hassle to summon an employee to get it down for me.
If I don't wish to deal with crowds I've found 1 am to be an excellent time to shop.

I am a very focused shopper, speedy and organized... as long as i have my kids with, otherwise it all goes to shit, i can't make decisions, and it takes me twice as long to find things. For whatever reason, i'm at my best if i have someone that can stand my inane chatter and thinking out loud, plus shopping's always better when you can do the voices of Spongebob Squarepants and company (can't do Sandy, the rest i can) while you're shopping, i don't get as many weird looks if the kids are with. :-D

It's storming here. Started the most recent spell while I was at the grocery store. Makes one thankful for a waterproof backpack. Then again, it's a great bag in general for grocery shopping. Polished leather construction, with hardened straps and frame, riveted attachments for straps and flaps, and metal clasps and loops. Extremely durable, and carries a massive amount of weight without straining the construction. Distributes it well, too. Ex-Swiss Army issue, so it would have to be. Surplus store only wanted 30 bucks, because it's European, not American (US military packs sell for over a hundred, easy).
Never underestimate the utility of a good backpack for shopping via public transit.

Stoopid southern weather. Christmas time is for COLD.
WHY did I buy a house with a fireplace in it, When in the 7 years Ive owned it I can count the # of times I've gotten to light it on one hand!?!?!?
:P Bleech.
I mean, it's not that I love cold or anything. But it's just not right to be mowing your yard in shorts and t shirt in December! :/
